That is problem. You sure could make tiny strip (10m x 250m), nearly everywhere, even at the center of old city. But large planes need much larger strips, for example typical international airport have strip 30m x 1600m. Why so much differe

Please give classic CISC examples, which was not microcoded and why you think they classic. From my opinion, NONE of microprocessors could be considered classic CISC.

After digest information about IBM 360, I decided, we lost CISCs. One of most important feature of 360 was customizable microcode, which you could load on system boot and got effectively different hardware (like with FPGA emulators of Amiga

Good question. Now things are complicated. When all beginning, CISC CPUs was not one chip but board or even cabinet (like IBM S/360), and they featured customizable microcode, so you could even load different microcode on different CPU

You forget FORTRAN (was very popular for scientific computing, and nearest neighbor with COBOL in S/360 environment) :)))

And rumors said, they even considered IBM RS-6000, but pushed to make simplified PowerPC, and IBM had not very good times, so agreed.

You could try to convince IBM lawyers with your theory (as I know IBM is owner of patents and they will sue you just see).

It depends. On new EVs (which formally designed as EV from scratch), motors and charger are usually powerful enough to exceed brakes. On conversed, usual practice to limit torque of motor to be less than on ICE original, because of regulati

You definitively looking wrong way. You cannot choose software before you have industrial grade hardware. And sure, you could try to push people to buy non-industrial grade hardware, but I do not advise to go this way. Industrial grade hard

I like idea of optical delay line for registers. For other parts, great amount of work need to be done to achieve something working, so unfortunately, extremely risky project for now, need some time (years?) to implement all parts alone.

Looks like, AGI could be just some optimization algorithm, which could survive, grow and copy itself in typical for modern human environment. So it could be just feature of environment.

As I hear, for ML machines is normal to have 16 GPUs, if each consume 250W, totally 4KW per machine, so need 250,000 machines for 1GW (for 40MW would be 10000 machines, so 240,000 for 960MW). 240k machines is a big number, I myself seen DC

You are totally right. I worked as admin on few projects with dedicated servers, and ALL have two classic peaks (~10:00, 16:00..19:00) and near zero consumption at night (00:00..06:00), all these are now very close to civilian power consump
